Postmaster ends stay in Goldendale TAYLER BRADLEY FOR THE SENTINEL

ABOVE: SENTINEL FILE PHOTO.

LEAVING: Goldendale Postmaster Jennifer Zimmerlee, center, as she appeared in a Sentinel story on August 15, 2017, when she began working here. Zimmerlee talks about her time here and the severe strains facing the post office these days. Below, the Goldendale Post Office in 1912, on the south side of Main Street next to what used to be the medical building.

Our mail. Something that comes to us every day, but we never really know the exact process of how it gets to our mailboxes.

There is one lady, however, who knows exactly how it does, and she is Jennifer Zimmerlee. Jennifer has been the postmaster in Goldendale for the last four and a half years but has decided to move on to a new job in yet another exciting environment.

What started out as a part time job filling in for the postmaster on sick days or vacation quickly turned into a 10-year career.

When her fill-in job was eliminated due to reconstruction, Jennifer decided to take on a clerk job.

Then a promotion came which gave her the postmaster job here in Goldendale—which was just perfect for her because she really enjoys her customers and her dayto-day tasks.

So, what is the day-to-day for a postmaster? Jennifer oversees things such as the budget, serving the 4,500 residents of the greater Goldendale area, and providing the essentials for her staff. But when the pandemic struck, some of her duties changed. She now is helping her staff deliver packages because of the large increase in them coming through their door.

The post office went from 3,000 packages a week to between 7,000 and 8,000 a week.

Jennifer also must try to deal with the “one size fits all” policies the national post office has in place. With 31,00 locations and 500,000 employees, these policies were established to be universal rather than flexible per location.

It can be difficult to explain this to customers, but the staff is only doing what they are told to do. It’s trying to get others to realize how hard this job really is. “It seems so simple from the outside,” she says, “just put mail in a box. But it is actually very challenging mentally and physically.” Every industry is facing challenges they have never seen before, and the post office is no exception. It can be very stressful and tiring for the entire staff. They do their very best to not make mistakes, and they all want to provide the community with the best service they can, helping whenever and wherever possible.

These challenges never stopped Jennifer from seeing all the positives there are, though. She really enjoys making all her customers and staff happy. “When I go home knowing that my customers have been served and my employees came back safe, it is the best feeling ever,” Jennifer states. If you have ever been in the post office, you would have surely seen Jennifer helping however she could.

“I truly love my customers and my community,” she says. “Helping them and educating them always brought me joy.”

Jennifer chose to pursue a new job for a couple of reasons, one being she rarely got a day off from the post office. She spent 360 days at the post office in 2020, averaging 14- to 17-hour workdays. With what is going on now with Covid and the rise in deliveries due to online orders, she doesn’t see things slowing down any time soon for the post office staff. The other reason for her decision to leave is she wants to put some of her other skills to use and learn about a new industry.

Jennifer will be headed to the Mid-Columbia Medical Center in The Dalles as an executive assistant. She will miss all her customers and staff greatly here in Goldendale, and as much as we will miss her, we wish her the best of luck as she heads out on a new adventure.

LEGISLATIVE SESSION NEWS

WA Cares bill delayed 18 months JUAN MORFIN WASHINGTON STATE JOURNAL Washington’s highly touted and highly controversial longterm care program will be delayed by 18 months, as lawmakers work to correct flaws in the program.

Gov. Jay Inslee signed bills Jan. 27 to delay the WA Cares payroll tax on Washington workers just days after the Senate voted 46-3 in favor of delaying both the collection of premiums and WA Cares Fund’s implementation. The House of Representatives voted 91-6 in favor of the same bill.

Inslee’s action pauses the collection of premiums. The collection is scheduled to begin July 1, 2023, instead of Jan. 1, 2022. The tax would have taken 58 cents for every $100 made by Washington workers. A person with an annual income of $70,000 would have $406 deducted yearly.

Since the collection of premiums was meant to go into effect at the beginning of January 2022,

HB 1732 also requires employers to refund employees any premiums deducted before July 1, 2023.

The WA Cares Fund would provide Washingtonians who meet the eligibility criteria with services like home-delivered meals, care transition coordination, memory care, wheelchair ramps, and more. Each person will have coverage up to $36,500 over their lifetime.

The floor debate on HB 1732 had support from both Democrats and Republicans.

“It allows for that 18-month delay so that we can address a few of the issues that we’ve heard about to ensure that the program is as effective and efficient as we can make it,” said Rep. Pat Sullivan, D-Covington.

Rep. Joe Schmick, R-Colfax, said he was in favor of passing HB 1732 to fix the challenges that it presents. One of those challenges was the number of people who opted out of the program last year. According to the Employment Security Department, as of

Suit filed against Covid testing company A lawsuit was filed Monday against Center for COVID Control, an Illinois-based company that ran several testing centers in Washington state, for providing invalid, false, and delayed COVID-19 test results to Washingtonians, or sometimes providing no results at all. The company’s unlawful practices included storing tests in garbage bags for over a week rather than properly refrigerating them, and backdating sample collection dates so that stale samples would still be processed. The suit was brought

by Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson.

Employees reported that the company instructed them to “lie to patients on a daily basis” when Washingtonians complained about their delayed results.

Ferguson’s lawsuit, filed in King County Superior Court, asserts the company violated the Consumer Protection Act when it deliberately failed to deliver prompt, valid, and accurate results. Moreover, the company also violated the Consumer Protection Act when it made deceptive promises that it could deliver results within 48 hours. The Attorney General’s Office plans to file a motion for preliminary injunction soon to immediately stop the Center for COVID Control’s unlawful conduct. The office will request a preliminary injunction hearing for the soonest available date.

Center for COVID Control operated about 300 testing sites nationwide. The company had at least 13 testing sites in Washington, located in Lakewood, Tacoma, University Place, Seattle, Bellevue, Auburn, Lynnwood, Everett, Port Orchard, and Yakima. The company provided COVID-19 tests to thousands of Washingtonians.

The company did not have a license to operate a business in any municipalities in Washington, except for Yakima, at the time they conducted COVID-19 tests. These testing sites paused all operations on or about Jan. 13 and are still closed.

The company advertised that they could provide COVID-19 test results within 15 minutes for a rapid antigen test, and within 48 hours for a more accurate PCR test.

However, in reality, the com-

pany was aware it could not actually process tests at this speed.

Former employees reported that the company was receiving between 8,000 to 10,000 tests per day, and data entry staff could not keep up. The company’s owners refused requests to hire more staff to keep up with the demand for testing.

Center stored week-old tests in garbage bags Employees began storing tests in garbage bags and piling them up in various corners of the office with no semblance of organization. Some former employees reported regularly finding tests sitting in trash bags that were over a week old, never refrigerated properly and never tested by the company’s lab.

Testing samples can only keep for so long—a lab manager for the company reported that beyond three days, a sample is invalid. The company’s Director of Operations instructed employees to start falsely post-dating samples to make them appear more recent than they actually were and submit them for testing anyway so the company could potentially still bill insurance companies or the federal government for the tests.

As a result, Washingtonians received false negative results, invalid results or no results at all. One Yakima customer, who never received his test result from Center for COVID Control, reported that two of his family members received negative test results despite exhibiting severe symptoms of COVID-19 the day after being tested.

s c i p m y l O Winter

Three thousand years ago warriors in Greece got together and participated in a contest that was called the Olympic Games. Most of the games were based on skills the warriors needed in battle. In 394 AD the Olympics were outlawed by the Roman Emperor Theodocius because he thought they were a pagan celebration. The Romans believed in only one God but the Greeks still celebrated the ancient Gods. In 1896 the modern Olympic games began. The games were held during the warm summer months and only included warm weather sports. These games were so popular that in 1924 the winter Olympic Games were started.

The first winter Olympic Games were held in Chamonix, France. The games were small compared to the last Olympic Games.

There were only six sports the athletes competed in that year. The sports were ice hockey, curling, bobsleighing, military patrol as well as ice and speed skating. If you counted that, it looks like there were seven sports but speed skating and ice skating were considered one sport. There were also only 258 athletes that participated and 49 medals were awarded. At the last winter games held in 2018, there were 2,833 athletes and 307 medals were awarded.

So what does it take to be an Olympic athlete? You have to have a talent for a specific sport. You have to believe in yourself and never give up. This is called determination. A talented athlete and determination aren’t enough though. You also have to put in many, many hours of training time. This is called practice. Olympic athletes that are still in school usually homeschool so that they have enough practice time. Other athletes have to travel for hours to get to their practices. Some athletes even have to move to another town or state, or even another country. Athletes also have to follow certain rules that are written and adopted by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). If you don’t follow those rules the IOC will disqualify you.

Why do they call it downhill skiing?

Did You Know?

In 1960 the Olympics were held in the USA and were Disney Themed. Walt Disney provided the leadership for the entertainment.

The movie “Cool Runnings” was about a group of guys who lived on a Caribbean Island and they had never seen snow as kids.

The Biathlon was originally called Military Patrol.

The country of Norway has won more medals than any other country.

Answer to last week’s Mystery Picture

This week’s Goldendale’s Attic Mystery Picture Another shindig of some kind, from all appearances. A dinner, clearly, but what was the occasion and

who are these people?

All we know is this picture once ran in The Sentinel, lost in the annals of yesteryear.

If you know anything about it, please drop us an email (info@goldendalesentinel.com) or give us a call (773-

3777) or drop in at the office—and remember, you’re welcome to come in and take a look at the original photograph.

Looking Back February 24, 1897 – 125 Years Ago The Goldendale Band was out serenading Monday afternoon in honor of the father of our country, George Washington. After playing several selections on the streets, they went to the telephone office at W. J. White’s and played a couple of pieces. Telephone communication having been made with Centerville, Grant, Wasco, Rufus, and Moro, parties at these places enjoyed the music—at least they heard the noise.

Moro is about forty miles from Goldendale.

February 2, 1902 – 120 Years Ago Satus Post office was established last Friday in a ranch house near the top of Satus, 18 miles north of Goldendale, 36 miles SW of Toppenish. It will be a tri-weekly Star Route connecting Goldendale and Toppenish.

February 13, 1913 – 109 Years Ago William Enderby has returned from the annual meeting of northwest implement dealers, at Portland, Oregon. He selected while there the largest stock of machinery of the latest and best models that has ever been shipped to Goldendale. He looks for a fine trade on the opening of spring.

February 4, 1932 - 90 Years Ago No rites marked the dislodging recently of the last brick from the walls of the once-spacious hotel at the river town of Deschutes. Soon, so the newspaper reports tell us, there will be only vacant ground where the bustling and ambitious town was located. Streets will be possessed once more by clumps of sagebrush, and jackrabbits will scurry back and forth over the thoroughfares where high hopes once urged the feet of man. Deschutes, now called “Ghost Town,” was abandoned as other towns grew in size, dispersed its hopes, and drew its fickle fortune hunters to more promising fields. The large brick hotel had a setting of much beauty at one time, with the fine lawns, spacious grounds set with gay f lowers and shrubbery, and a running fountain. On the great expanse of the desert, it was a cheerful spot, which the sanguine imagination easily transformed into a paradise rich in the products of the soil, watered by irrigation streams. Yesterday it was the budding city of Deschutes. Today it is a “Ghost Town.” Tomorrow even that name will be a misnomer, for the last brick of the once beautiful, bustling hotel has been dislodged, and now we must expect that even ghosts will wrap their shrouds about them and depart.

January 31, 2002 – 20 Years Ago Glenwood’s 2002 Ketchum Kalf Rodeo Queen Rachel Partlow received the “reins” from 2001 Queen Nicki Schultz at the coronation ceremony held Jan. 20. The Ketchum Kalf Rodeo is held annually on Father’s Day weekend.

January 31, 2002 – 20 Years Ago One of Interstate 84’s favorite pit stops, Biggs Junction Travel Plaza, is closing after being bought by Pilot Truck Corp. The Biggs Junction Travel Plaza and its truck stop, along with the popular Biggs Café, will close Friday, February 8. Jack’s Restaurant closed as part of the buyout and will eventually be torn down to make way for the new Pilot Truck Stop complex. Initially an A & W Root Beer restaurant, the Biggs Café was established during the 1970s. More than 50 employees were employed at the plaza.

We’ve colorized this picture from last week to show what it might’ve looked like back then in color. Though he didn’t recognize anyone, Dave West thought last week’s Attic Mystery Picture was most likely taken at the rodeo grounds up in Cleveland; something about the trees, he thought.

Miland Walling was the first to let us know who these people are, though he does not recall ever seeing this picture of his dad—who is in it—before. Indeed, as Dave guessed, this was a Pioneer Picnic and Rodeo Committee in Bickleton, and while it’s no surprise Miland recognized his dad and grandmother, except for one person he also knew everyone else. Emory Kelley’s granddaughter, Kelley Mains, picked out her grandfather (he served as president of the Association for several years) and knew almost everyone else as well. Sandra Powers, from the Bickleton Carousel Museum, sent us the names found in a Sentinel clipping from 1954 found in the Carousel Museum’s archives.

We found the picture in the June 3, 1954, edition of The Sentinel. The caption reads: “These People Laying Groundwork for Picnic “Officials for the 44th Annual Pioneer Picnic sponsored by the Alder Creek Pioneer Association, to be held Monday, June 14 at Cleveland Park, four miles West of Bickleton.

Shown here are, front row, left to right, F.H. Naught, sports chairman; Orval Walling registration chairman; Dick Wilson, grounds and concessions committee; Jack Jensen, merry-goround chairman; and C.W. Everett, grandstand chairman.

“Back row, left to right, Miles Matsen, publicity chairman; Chloe Walling, Memorial chairman; Dale Johnson, dance chairman; James Spalding, decorations chairman; E.E. Kelley, association president; Walter Johnson, secretarytreasurer and S.F. Ganders, grounds and concessions chairman.”

Reading that 1954 was the 44th year for the Rodeo (2022 will be the picnic’s 111th year!) sent us searching for some history. To learn more, you can visit bickletonrodeo.com where we found a brief history of the Association on their website: “Alder Creek Pioneer Association was formed May 27, 1911, as reported (in) the following article taken from The Bickleton News dated June 2, 1911: “The Alder Creek Pioneer Association was formed last Saturday for the purpose of making arrangements for holding a reunion at Cleveland on June 14. A. J. Spoon was made president, E. Y. Stone vice-president, and R. H. Buckley, secretary.

“The following invitation has been issued and is being mailed to the known addresses of pioneers, but no one need wait for a bid, for everyone will be made welcome. The exercises will begin at 10 o’clock. This is the printed invitation: “‘You are cordially invited to attend the reunion of the Alder Creek Pioneer Association to be held at Cleveland, Klickitat County, Washington on the 14th day of June, 1911. Yours very truly, W. L. Lewis, J. E. Story, C. M. Wherry, C. Larsen, E. L. Mace, and R. H. Buckley, secretary.’”

The first few Association picnics were local affairs with mostly all local people as they did not travel as far away from home in those days, but with the men barbecuing meat over a pit and the ladies bringing contributions from home, a bountiful picnic was held.

The entertainment in those days was more on the local level, with foot races, sack races, ball games, local saddle horse races, and if some farmer had a horse he thought could buck, he might talk some young daredevil into trying his luck.”

Points to ponder: My new band is called Free Beer, because when people see a sign that says “Free Beer Tomorrow at 8 p.m.,” they show up.

The love between two mimes is unspoken.

I was thinking I should see a psychic, so one should be calling me anytime now.

What was the best thing before sliced bread?

There’s no fool like an old fool. But some of you young fools are showing real promise.

Life has no remote control. You have to get up and change it yourself.

It’s Groundhog Day. No, I’m not talking about the school lunch menu.

I was walking down the street the other day and saw a white baby ghost. Come to think of it, it might have been a tissue.

I pushed too hard in my ear with a Q-tip and reset my brain.

To err is human, to forgive canine.

tor who can give him a medical evaluation, and if warranted, “prescribe” that he stops driving. Older people will often listen to their doctor before they will listen to their own family.

She had a special love of music and dance. As a girl and young woman, she was a member of the school and church choir, and her voice was purely angelic.

Ilene studied and taught tap dance, ballet, belly dancing, the hula, as well as ballroom and swing dance. Ilene was very musically inclined. She

played the harpsichord and mandolin and was fond of all kinds of music from classical to country and western and jazz. Ilene had a passion for art in many mediums including pencil, charcoal, pastels, oils, and more.

Ilene had r e c eive d s everal ribbons and awards at various fairs and competitions over the years. She had a long-time interest and definite talent with ceramics, both casting and painting.

It seems her abilities with arts and crafts in general

were nearly limitless.

Ilene was without a doubt the most honest and straightforward person ever. If she liked you, it was unconditional and if she didn’t, you knew it. She never said anything about anyone that she hadn’t or wouldn’t say to their face— a trait sorely lacking in today’s society.

Ilene was preceded in death by her daughter Krysta; sister Lehani; two brothers, Arlo Dean and Dwayne; and her mother and father, Rosa and Shel-

ering live plants or bulbs to gift to neighbors, along with her famous potato salad.

Her talents in the garden were just as notable in the kitchen—she made the best ham hock and beans soup and homemade chili, yet only one limitation— she could not make mac ’n’ cheese out of a box! She made Ron breakfast every morning and packed his lunch for work every day; dinner was always ready

when he arrived home from work. She was like clockwork—for everyone. Her energy and enthusiasm were unmatched.

Teresa was the consummate caretaker of everyone around her, and she did so with humor and humility.

She never left home without her makeup on, a full

nail kit in her purse, a hairbrush, and of course Lifesaver mints and a Pepsi to wash it down with. She loved going to Hawaii and Las Vegas, and she was a collector of beautiful rocks, minerals, gemstones, and jewelry. Magpies in her garden couldn’t hold a candle to her zest for pretty things! She loved to collect elephants, Christmas decor, and filling her house with plants, too.

Just a few of Teresa’s endearing qualities were stubbornness, as well as loving and caring for people and animals and plants to a point of exhaustion.

She did not have a “sorry” bone in her body, she never complained, and she never slowed down to take a minute for herself. She was the kind of literal busy-body that only the Blabbermouth Queen of 1972 could be— always into everything and always there in the pursuit to make all things pretty.

Teresa would like to let everyone know that, in her own constant refrain to loved ones, that “I’m F-I-NE. Don’t worry about me!!!”

Please join us in celebrating the life of great character and integrity, tougher than nails, constantly quipping, sometimes flashing, always laughing lady who loved red roses and her people near and far on Saturday, February 5, 2022, at 1 p.m. for a potluck at the Centerville Grange Hall. Bring a dessert or side (remember, the secret to Teresa’s potato salad is pickle juice) along with your good humor and memories to share with the family, who wish to thank everyone for their kind thoughts, gestures, and loving kindness during this season of their lives.

sibling is her older brother, Gerald of Hillsboro, Oregon.

Ilene will be greatly missed by numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews as well as countless friends and neighbors. She will be especially missed by her husband of 40-plus years, companion and forever soul mate, Charles Barnes of Goldendale, and her blind cat Ginger.

By Ilene’s request there will be no memorial service, and only a private gathering at a later date.

Rest In Peace Knowing You Are, And Always Will Be, Loved.

Sean Tyler Jackson

Teresa Kay Campbell Teresa Kay (Schelhorn) Campbell passed away peacefully on January 14, 2022. She was born to James and Isabel Schelhorn in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on July 16, 1956. Her family moved to Centerville in 1969 where Teresa began at tend i ng C enter v i l le School. Teresa attended Goldendale High School where she met her husband of 46 years, Ronald Lee Campbell. Teresa was a track star at Goldendale High School, and she was crowned Miss Blabbermouth 1972 —an award she proudly kept in her hope chest! Ron and Teresa were married in Goldendale on September 26, 1976. Together they had two children, son Curtis in 1977 and daughter Chrystal in 1979, raising them in Centerville.

Teresa had a passion for all things that kept her busy outside. Gardening, fishing, camping, and playing with the grandkids—singing “You Are My Sunshine” to them every time she got the chance. She was a masterful gardener who could build and grow the most beautiful flower gardens in any condition of soil, wind, rain, or temperature. Her alltime favorite flowers were red roses. When she wasn’t in her own garden, she was busy digging up and deliv-

don Shurtz.

Ilene will be mourned and missed by two sons, Kurt Abraham of Hillsboro, Oregon, and Erick Abraham of Las Vegas, Nevada, with his family Jeanne and two daughters, Kylie and Kayla, both of which were the apple of her eye. Ilene also had two stepsons, Shannon Barnes of LaCenter, Washington, with his wife Jodi, son Kyle and daughter Peyton; and Lance Barnes, his wife Lorinda, daughter Amber and son Ryan, and a stepdaughter, Heather Shaffer, of Seaside, Oregon, with son Cole and daughter Paige. Ilene’s only living

“It is my belief that the only way to be happy and obtain happiness is to give it, to express it to others.”

—Sean Jackson, September 2013 Sean Tyler Jackson was born on December 6, 1983, in Seattle, Washington, as the beloved firstborn to Gary and Sue Jackson. He started his adventures in Life in Mount Lake Terrace, Washington. In 1988 his family moved to Issaquah, Washington, where he began a lifelong journey of learning starting from Issaquah Cooperative Preschool, Challenge Elementary, and Beaver Lake Middle School.

Sean graduated Skyline High School in the class of 2002.

As Sean grew, he participated in Boy Scouts, Beaver Lake Middle School wrestling, and Kingsgate Junior Hockey.

He developed a love of these things that he carried all his lifetime. He started work early as a newspaper boy for The Seattle Times.

He graduated from Central Washington University, completing his Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in Mechanical Engineering Technology receiving the Alumni Association Scholarship in 2005.

After completing his initial education, Sean found himself in Bickleton, Washington, in 2008 as a technician for the Siemen’s Wind Farms. Sean then moved to Goldendale. After two years of scaling wind towers, he moved into a position as an engineer in training at the Klickitat County PUD. Sean casually attended various churches discovering a connection with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and was baptized in December of that year. The following day he

met Mindy Jackson, where a simple handshake became the start of something new.

Sean and Mindy went on one date and, finding a true connection, the next day they were engaged. In December of 2011 they were sealed in the Portland, Oregon, Temple. They settled in to begin their life together and a few months later were expecting their first child. Changes occurred at the KPUD, and Sean found himself on the path to finding new employment.

He took a mechanical engineering p o sit ion at Electroimpact in Mukilteo, Wa s h i n g t o n .

Shortly after, his son was born and the family temporarily moved to Poulsbo, Washington. In September of 2013 he joined Telect, Inc. in Liberty Lake, and he and Mindy purchased their first home together in 2014. The next year they welcomed their first daughter.

Sean was active in the community, serving as a hospice volunteer and continuing service as a youth leader. He was active in his church life, often being the fi rst one who would show up to help move fellow families or serve others in many ways. He worked on several projects which were patented and thrived in the fiber optic field.

In the spring of 2017, the Jackson family welcomed their second daughter. That fall Sean launched his own company, Mountain Freedom, LLC. His fi nal job as a mechanical engineer was prototyping at Novelis.

Sean felt a call to the teaching profession and in 2019, he began at Eastern Washington University earning his teaching certifi-

cate in the summer of 2020.

That fall he became a STEM teacher at Omak Middle School and also taught wood shop. He often remarked on how blessed he felt to be teaching the things he loved so much.

The summer of 2021 was spent exploring the Okanogan County in his green Toyota truck. He loved driving into the mountains to see as far as he could see, sharing his love of hiking and adventure with his family and youth groups. He participated in backpacking, camping, fi shing, and biking. He finished out the summer at his family’s cabin in the Puget Sound area chopping wood, clearing trails, and sailing his catamaran.

The fall of 2021 he started his second year teaching his students to make paper roller coasters, launch rockets, and build mousetrap cars. He loved developing the projects that would be taught in the wood shop. He also loved serving with the youth and volunteered as an assistant in wrestling.

During this time his family shared in community holidays and more outdoor mountain adventures.

Sean’s many adventures concluded on January 15, 2022, in Omak, Washington.

He is survived by his parents, Gary and Sue Jackson; his sister Amy Jackson; his wife, Mindy Jackson; and his three children, Tyler, Amelia, and Carina.

A memorial service was held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Omak on January 29.

Insitu names new CEO State investigation shuts down Amazon price-fixing program nationwide Insitu in Bingen, Washington, has named a new CEO. “Effective immediately, Lynn Fox is named president and CEO of Insitu,” Bingen spokesman Pat Host announced Monday. “She succeeds Megan Davies, who is assuming a new leadership role within The Boeing Company. We thank Megan for her leadership at Insitu and wish her well in her soon-tobe-announced position. Megan will partner closely with Lynn as she transitions over the coming weeks.

“Lynn’s robust defense industry experience positions her well to continue to build on Insitu’s creative culture, customer focus, solid performance and innovative mindset. Lynn and her family will relocate to the Bingen area in the coming months.”

Fox is also serving as Boeing’s vice president of Missions and Payloads.

Previously, Fox was senior director of Boeing’s Electronic Sensor and Intelligence Solutions division while also serving as CEO of Argon ST of Fairfax, Virginia.

Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson Monday announced that, as a result of his office’s pricefixing investigation, Amazon will shut down the “Sold by Amazon” program nationwide.

The Attorney General’s Office simultaneously filed a lawsuit and a legally binding resolution in King County Superior Court. As part of the legally enforceable consent decree, Amazon must stop the “Sold by Amazon” program nationwide and provide the Attorney General’s Office with annual updates on its compliance with antitrust laws. In addition, Amazon will pay $2.25 million to the Attorney General’s Office, which will be used to support the Attorney General’s antitrust enforcement, which does receive general fund support.

The “Sold by Amazon” program allowed the online retailer to agree on price with third-party sellers, rather than compete with them. Ferguson’s lawsuit asserted that the program violated antitrust laws. Amazon unreasonably restrained competition in order to maximize its own profits off third-party sales.

This conduct constituted unlawful price-fixing.

Amazon offered the “Sold

by Amazon” program from 2018 through 2020 on an invitation-only basis. It invited several hundred third-party sellers with whom it had previously competed for online consumer sales on its online marketplace and other e-commerce platforms.

“Consumers lose when corporate giants like Amazon fix prices to increase their profits,” Ferguson said. “Today’s action promotes product innovation and consumer choice and makes the market more competitive for sellers in Washington state and across the country.”

There are about 2.3 million third-party sellers on Amazon worldwide, according to information from a 2018 Amazon letter to its shareholders. Over the last two decades, Amazon’s sales of its own branded products grew from $1.6 billion in 1999 to $117 billion in 2018. Over that same period, third-party sales grew exponentially from $100 million in 1999 to $160 billion in 2018.

Third-party sales account for over half the sales on Amazon.

Washington state ranks among the top 10 states in the nation with the fastest growing rate of third-party sellers on its online marketplace.

The “Sold by Amazon” program restrained price competition Amazon targeted a small fraction of the millions of third-party sellers on its platform to join the “Sold by Amazon” program. Amazon kept the program small as an experiment then slowly began to request more sellers join as it evolved.

Ferguson asserted Amazon enticed sellers into the “Sold

by Amazon” program by guaranteeing that they would receive at least an agreed upon minimum payment for sales of their consumer goods in exchange for their agreement to stop competing with Amazon for the pricing of their products. Consequently, if sales exceeded the negotiated minimum payment, Amazon and its competitors split the surplus proceeds amongst themselves. For example, if a seller and Amazon agreed to a $20 minimum payment and the item sold for $25, the seller would receive the $20 minimum price and share the $5 additional profit with Amazon, in addition to any fees.

The “Sold by Amazon” program resulted in prices for some products increasing when Amazon programmed its pricing algorithm to match

the prices that certain external retailers offer to online consumers.

As a result, when prices increased, some sellers experienced a marked decline in the sales and resulting profits from products enrolled in the program. Faced with price increases, online customers sometimes opted to buy Amazon’s own branded products — particularly its private label products.

This resulted in Amazon maximizing its own profits regardless of whether consumers paid a higher price for sales of products enrolled in the “Sold by Amazon” program or settled for buying the same or similar product offered through Amazon.

Prices for the vast majority of the remaining products enrolled in the “Sold

by Amazon” program stabilized at artificially high levels. This is because Amazon programmed its pricing algorithm to maintain the seller’s pre-enrollment price as the price floor. This meant participating sellers had limited, if any, ability to lower the price of their products without withdrawing the product’s enrollment in the Sold by Amazon program.

Three flu deaths reported Flu activity across Washington has risen to moderate levels and, for the fi rst time in roughly two years, Washington state is reporting multiple f lu-related deaths. These cases are conventional f lu-related and not Covid. Three individuals, all age 65 or older, who tested positive for influenza A have died. The third death will be included in this week’s Washington State Inf luenza Update, released every Friday.

Flu is a highly contagious disease that can cause severe illness and death, even in healthy people. Last season, flu activity was historically low, likely due to increased Covid-19 precautions, such as mask wearing, remote learning, occupancy limits, and work from home measures taken during the pandemic.

Goldendale Timberwolves Boys win three Tayler Bradley

Sports Editor This week the Timberwolves had a big line up of games that were very important, and the boys were ready to leave it all out on the floor.

They played Granger, Highland, and White Salmon this week. They started out against Granger on Monday.

The Timberwolves were pumped to play Granger, even though it was on their court.

The last time they played them, the Wolves won, and they were ready to do it again.

Granger is a tough team and a scrappy one at that. The boys knew they had to push through and play their game for all 32 minutes. In the first quarter Granger looked pretty strong and outscored the Wolves. But the boys were playing together and moving the ball well; they were finding a good flow. It showed in the second quarter as the Wolves held Granger to only 10 points as they closed the gap, trailing by only four at the half.

A little breather and some pep talk is exactly what these boys needed to get back on the court and play their game. The Wolves played some great defense, keeping Granger from scoring big.

Both quarters the Wolves held Granger to less than 10 points. It seemed to frustrate the Granger boys, and the Wolves took advantage on the offensive side. In the end the Wolves won by 8 points, final score 53-45.

Caleb Smith had a great night with 19 points and 2 assists. Kade Bomberger was right behind him with 14 points, and Samuel Bischoff ended his night with 12 points. Tyler Wells and Sam Wilder both had 3 assists and 2 points. Eli Golding had 1 assist and 2 points, and Cameron Groves had 2 points for the night.

Game two for the week was against Highland on the Timberwolves court. The boys had tasted victory once this week already and wanted another one. The Wolves knew they could beat High-

THREE BIG WINS: The Timberwolf Boys took three games last week, against Granger, Highland, and White Salmon.

land as long as they kept their heads and played together.

In the first quarter Goldendale started with a bang and a 12-point lead. They were really playing well and hitting their shots. They contin-

ued this flow into the second quarter but slowed the tempo down so they could control the game. Their defense held Highland to 17 points in the first half.

Lady Timberwolves fight to go to Districts Tayler Bradley

Sports Editor This week was also a very important week for the Lady Timberwolves. They really needed to win two of their next three league games to stay in the top four of the district. The girls were up for the challenge and ready to give it all.

Their first game was against Granger away. This was sure to be a good one but also a tough one at that.

Granger is known to be scrappy and fighters. And that is exactly what this game was a fight to the end.

The girls had another night where the ball just didn’t seem to want to go into the hoop at all for the Wolves.

The whole game the Lady Timberwolves really held Granger in check; the girls defense was on fire. In the fourth quarter Granger found the hoop with some good shots. Granger hit two threes at the end of the game, with one buzzer-beater that was pretty lucky. But it was enough for Granger to keep the win at home, final score 30-35. Though they lost, the girls kept fighting and playing for every single minute of the game.

Payton Sheridan led the team with 10 points for the night. Gwen Gilliam and Sara Hiebert both added 5 points to the scoreboard.

Taylor Beam put up 4 points, Brook Blain had 2 points, and Mackenzie Dahl also had 2 points.

The girls knew now that this game against Highland held some of the fate of their district dreams. Luckily, they were playing at home, which is always helpful to have a supportive home crowd. But unfortunately, during this ever-important game Covid finally hit the Lady Timberwolves. They were down a few girls who tested positive, but the girls who could play made sure to put up a big fight.

The girls really left it all out on the court, though they had sort of a slow start.

It just took them a little bit longer to find the groove they needed. At the half the girls found themselves down by 11, but they never panicked or lost control. They stayed steady and kept picking away and found themselves within reach towards the end of the game. They had a few girls in foul trouble, but they played smart and put a lot of pressure on Highland.

The very last minute of the game sealed the deal. The Wolves were down by two, and Payton Sheridan was fouled. She stepped up to the line and knocked down both

can steal it. They played great despite the adjustments. The final score was 54-46, Goldendale with the win for their final home game.

Paton Sheridan had a blowout game with 34 points for the night. She has really been developing herself as a player, and it showed. Mackenzie Dahl had 10 points for the night, Sara Hiebert put up 8 points and Grace Bland had 2. Each and every girl really played their hearts out this game.

With one final league game left against Kittitas the Wolves have a super important game ahead of them to decide their district dreams.

The girls are currently sitting 4th in the district, which will let them go to the district C J L playoffs.

half the Wolves were feeling good, and it was showing on the court. They continued to put points on the board. Highland seemed to have found a groove as well, outscoring the Wolves in both the third and fourth quarters, but it just wasn’t enough to take the win from them. The Timberwolves won with a final score of 63-55.

Caleb Smith had yet another great night with 25 points and 6 assists. Kade Bomberger had 13 points for the night, and Sam Wilder had 5 points. Tyler Wells had 3 points, and Austin Neil had 2 points for the night. Eli Golding ended his night with 8 points, Noah Clark had 3 points, and Josh Boe with 4 points.

The final game for week was an away non-league game against White Salmon.

They were on a winning streak, and they wanted to add one more for the week. In the first half the Wolves held the Bruins to only 16 points, their defense was working hard. They were also putting

points on the board and had a healthy lead heading into the second half.

The Bruins found a groove in the second half and were able to get past the Wolves defense a few more times.

But Goldendale was still putting points on the board, and they already had a good lead, and it was enough for them to bring home the third and final win for the week. The final score was 60-51.

Caleb Smith had his third great game this week with 16 points and 2 assist. Tyler Wells had a big night with 12 points and 1 assist. Sam Wilder and Eli Golding each had 6 points for the night.

Kade Bomberger added another 13 points to the final score. Josh Boe had 3 points and Mason Thomas added two points.

The Wolves had a great week with three tremendous wins. They will have played one more game against Kittitas on Tuesday. We are very proud of these boys and how hard they have worked all season.
